The Virtual Studio Artists

Very creative sisters here! Deb Silva of Creatively Amused
and Artella!, and Judy Coates Perez of Painted Threads
were among the wild women of MIU's Virtual Studios at IQF-Chicago...

It was not easy coming back to real life.












Rah, Rah for MIU! Here we see Kelli Perkins creating her incredible paper beads - when she came to join us, it was very busy, so I didn't get a chance to talk more with her -

Back from Festival

Here we have the lovely Cheryl Prater of Prater Poste and equally stunning Debbi Crane of Paper Doll Post who along with me were sharing an area for the Virtual Studios gig for Cloth Paper Scissors® at MIU! - I simply must do this again, as it was a wonderful experience and feeling like a celebrity does the soul good once in awhile...

I didn't get a photo of Virginia Spiegel. Darn.

Ready for the Friday Night Sampler! I had prepared five step-outs to demonstrate how to make my funky wrist pin cushions to lots of enthusiastic quilters. My helper chick, Becky (aka Vanna White) did a fantastic job of keeping the biz end moving along (see photo below of her).


She had artfully arranged everything on the table - looks good!





And here she is...we got a bit goofy after I paid her for services rendered...it's not what you might be thinking, lol.












What to do in your hotel room when it comes time to make your favorite guacamole, and you can't find the knife you packed?




You reach for a pair of scissors, of course. I wonder what people who don't sew do in this situation?





Side note on the pin cushions for all of you who have been interested in slapping one of these on your own wrist or the wrist of a loved one. I came home with some pretty ones and will be listing them on my gallery blog later today. A huge thanks goes to Pam who writes Pin Cushion Genius! : PaMdora’s Box
If you're listening, Pam - watch your mailbox...

On the MIU faculty (beware)

First, Cheryl Prater makes me add her blog to my links (all right, actually she added mine to hers first, so I was obligated)...

NOW she wants me to mention that she was the cover girl for Cloth, Paper, Scissors in the January/February issue with her "Sixtopoly" article (very cool, btw) ~

I don't know what happened when I added the extra words after Prater Poste
but everything went goofy on me. Does anyone out there have the html letters/code for "centering" stuff?

I'm going to offer her a challenge (evil laugh coming out of my mouth)
...I'll let you know how she responds...

UPDATE: Cheryl sent me an "MIU or Bust" bumper sticker to put on my very own luggage (art shop on wheels)
